Turkish Forces want to know, well, everything
2004-03-10
Land Forces Command sent a note to the offices of subgovernors and asked these offices to collect intelligence about ’’people who are in favor of the European Union (EU) and the United States and the high society.’’
That’s pretty broad, can you be more specific?
In the directive it sent to military units and offices of subgovernors, Land Forces Command demands collection of information about persons and institutions who carry out ’’separatist and destructive’’ activities.
OK, I’d like to know that myself. Just who are you looking at?
People who are supporters of EU and the United States, artists, high society groups, Satanists, Masonic groups, minorities, and internet groups are among people about whom the Land Forces Command wanted to receive information.
Internet groups, huh? Guess that means you, Murat.
Istanbul Second Armored Brigade Command sent the note to Kadikoy, Maltepe, Kartal and Sultanbeyli Subgovernors’ Offices and announced the people about whom it wants intelligence as, ’’minorities, and those who tend to see themselves as minority like Circassian, Romanian, Abkhazian, Albanian and Bosnian groups, high society groups, groups of artists, groups formed by children of rich families, sects, Satanists, Ku Klax Klan, Masonic groups, internet groups, sexual groups, drug groups, and meditation groups.’’
That pretty much covers everyone.
The directive asked the offices to search for intentions, financial sources, actions, and connections of these groups. The directive also wanted information about authors and intellectuals who work against Turkey.
Better budget for a lot of overtime.
